Re: Experience with Cameta Camera?

idn't charge for the shipping. Since then I have bought a couple of lenses from them and all have been fine. Their grading probably is less conservative than KEH, so keep that in mind. They also put a few pieces of candy with whatever they're shipping, which I like. Aaron Bransky

The M42 adapter is sold. I wrote the post from work, and forgot to add that the KX has 2 translucent smudges at the bottom of the return mirror. It doesn't affect function as far as I am concerned, but it might be of concern to some. Sorry for not mentioning it earlier. Aaron

Lasse, thanks for the excellent example of how to improve the picture by cropping. I'm glad you did that. It really does help zero in on the essence of the shot, namely the boy's hands and his posture. If anyone on the list can direct me to a site or resource so I can figure out how to resize ima

Re: Smaller flash for MX -- suggestions?

Thanks, Joe. What do these AF160 flashes typically cost these days? What would be a choice for swivel and/or having the ability to reduce output, perhaps for outdoor fill-in flash? Aaron >From: Joe Wilensky >If you want something really small, made by Pentax, and >chronologically appropriat

Re: Intro from lurker and thanks for the help

Stan, Frank, and Boris, thanks for the welcome. I also appreciate your encouragement about posting pictures, or "Art" as Frank put it. Maybe I'll see who scans in negatives here in Duluth -- that aspect of photography is completely new to me and about all I now know is that it can be done. I don
